Predicting Future Attacks and
Breaches: Analytics in Action

A SANS Institute webinar sponsored by SAS

The pace and sophistication of data breaches is forcing security teams to adjust their security strategies. Where prevention once was the sole focus, now it's clear that detection and response are just as important. Organizations aren’t finding the indicators of compromise within their environments soon enough, and they aren't responding to these incidents and removing them quickly enough.

In addition to rapid event detection, correlation and response, however, organizations need the capability to predict future trends based on past and current behavior. That’s where security analytics may prove especially useful.

This webinar explores the growing necessity of security analytics and examines some examples to support its adoption.
Topics include:

Why security professionals aren't asking the right questions – and what those questions are.

Why many monitoring tools and strategies haven't worked.

What security analytics is (and what it isn’t).

Potential future uses of security analytics.
